MINING CAPITALISTS ON ~ Charles L. alther, haciaan of the board of directors of the Hoge Deelopmnet Company, accompanied by his friends, Dr. Joseph Stybr and Mr. McKay of Pittsburg, Pa., are her on a visit, and a tour of inspection of the properties in which they are inteerested. Mr. Walther who is also president of the Penn Calirornia Mining Company, and the gest individual stockholder the same, has been here on numerous occasions in the past, and enjoys 2 large personal acquaintance. larin This however is the frst visit to this section of Messr. Stybr and MeKay, bu it is to be hoped that they shall be so favorably impressed with our climate: and our possibilities o! profitable mining development, thai they too shall come to see us often. The properties that are owned anc controlled by the Hoge Developmne' Company have great possiblities for the development of one of the largest producing mines in this section. High grade ore at or near the surface where the geological conditions are favorable, are always indicative of deep seated and valuable ore bodies. The prospecting work that. has been done by Hoge and his associ ates has. shown that while they are in a broken up country, on acocunt of bing so near the surface, that they have a strong fissiire vein system along the line of the granite and’ sla econtact. They have also demonstrated the fact that in this broken up country, there are high grade bunches of ore of much more than ordinary value, and it has often been proven that when such conditionsare found, that a reasonably de& pdevelopment always brings forth a good producer. This is especially true when the operating oempany has an ample acreage and an efficient and economical managemen, ; The publisher feels and believes that the Hoge Development Company has all the necessary essentials for the development of an enormous producer and that when they sink their main shaft to a depth of. two hundred to four hundrred feet, and get below the’ broken, shattered f country, that they shal find an abundance of rich ore, and a steady and preftable production.

MINING CAPITALISTS ON ~ Charles L. alther, haciaan of the board of directors of the Hoge Deelopmnet Company, accompanied by his friends, Dr. Joseph Stybr and Mr. McKay of Pittsburg, Pa., are her on a visit, and a tour of inspection of the properties in which they are inteerested. Mr. Walther who is also president of the Penn Calirornia Mining Company, and the gest individual stockholder the same, has been here on numerous occasions in the past, and enjoys 2 large personal acquaintance. larin This however is the frst visit to this section of Messr. Stybr and MeKay, bu it is to be hoped that they shall be so favorably impressed with our climate: and our possibilities o! profitable mining development, thai they too shall come to see us often. The properties that are owned anc controlled by the Hoge Developmne' Company have great possiblities for the development of one of the largest producing mines in this section. High grade ore at or near the surface where the geological conditions are favorable, are always indicative of deep seated and valuable ore bodies. The prospecting work that. has been done by Hoge and his associ ates has. shown that while they are in a broken up country, on acocunt of bing so near the surface, that they have a strong fissiire vein system along the line of the granite and’ sla econtact. They have also demonstrated the fact that in this broken up country, there are high grade bunches of ore of much more than ordinary value, and it has often been proven that when such conditionsare found, that a reasonably de& pdevelopment always brings forth a good producer. This is especially true when the operating oempany has an ample acreage and an efficient and economical managemen, ; The publisher feels and believes that the Hoge Development Company has all the necessary essentials for the development of an enormous producer and that when they sink their main shaft to a depth of. two hundred to four hundrred feet, and get below the’ broken, shattered f country, that they shal find an abundance of rich ore, and a steady and preftable production.
